Randy Gage, a former juvenile offender who turned his life around to become a multimillionaire entrepreneur and author, is releasing a new book that directly challenges the victimhood mentality he says holds many people back. In 'Wealth Without Apology: A Prosperity Manifesto,' published by Prosperity Factory, Inc. on April 28, 2026, Gage argues that while systemic inequality is real, individuals from any background can defy the odds by changing their mindset.
Gage, who was jailed at age 15 for armed robbery, writes from personal experience. 'I was furious at society,' he recalls, 'one that I saw as not offering equality for all. And that mindset led me to pull a gun on a cashier and walk out with $800.' The resulting jail time, he says, 'blessed me innumerably. It led to a complete transformation of my mindset, and the total eradication of an insidious belief system that had kept me in a mental prison way before I manifested a physical one.'
The book, which runs 142 pages, features provocative chapter titles such as 'The Only Free Cheese Is in the Mousetrap,' 'Poverty Sucks. (Stop Making It a Lifestyle Choice),' and 'Rewire Your Mind — Before It Bankrupts You.' Through these, Gage aims to help readers replace victimhood thinking with what he calls 'prosperity consciousness.'
Gage's central thesis is that powerful forces like government, the monetary system, and social controls cannot prevent a determined person from achieving health, happiness, and prosperity—but that doing so requires a dramatic mental readjustment. 'The process will eventually lead you to a fork in the road offering two choices: victimhood or victory,' he writes. 'Victimhood offers many perceived benefits, and as tantalizing as they might appear through distorted thinking, you must reject them entirely to become a victor.'
Gage is the founder and CEO of Prosperity Factory, Inc., launched in 1991 to help peak performers reach their highest potential. He has produced more than $23 billion in revenue for himself, his clients, and protégés. A New York Times bestselling author of 16 books translated into over 25 languages, Gage has been inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame and spoken in more than 50 countries.
The book has already garnered attention from Dr. Joe Vitale, a Law of Attraction expert and star of 'The Secret,' who provided a video review. 'Wealth Without Apology' is available for order at Amazon.com, BN.com, Bookshop.org, and BooksAMillion.com.
The release of 'Wealth Without Apology' comes at a time when debates about systemic inequality and personal responsibility are particularly heated. Gage's message—that anyone can overcome even the most entrenched disadvantages through mindset shifts—is likely to resonate with readers seeking empowerment, even as it may spark criticism from those who argue that structural barriers are insurmountable without broader societal change. For the book publishing industry, Gage's work represents a continuation of the prosperity gospel genre, which has found a consistent audience among readers looking for self-help that emphasizes individual agency over external circumstances.
Gage's own story, from juvenile detention to global influence, serves as the book's primary evidence. He insists that his transformation is replicable. 'Yes, inequality is real. But anyone from any background or discriminated-against group can defy the odds and succeed—and many do—simply by shifting their mindset,' he says.
